🛒 Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 🧈 1 box yellow cake mix
- 🍳 1 large egg
- 🧈 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the Gooey Layer:
- 🧀 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 🥚 2 large eggs
- 🍚 4 cups powdered sugar
- 🧈 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 🍶 1 tsp vanilla extract
🔥 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix together the yellow cake mix, egg, and melted butter until a soft dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish to form the crust.
2️⃣ Make the Gooey Topping:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

- Pour the gooey layer over the crust, spreading it evenly.
